Wouldn't Mayans have been able to accurately predict when eclipses would occur?

Yes they were very big into the calendar and timekeeping. Some of their temples are laid out to track the years, i.e. when is the solstice. I'm sure they would have known an eclipse was coming.

Good morning.
"I'm sure they would have known an eclipse was coming."

I've read that the Mayan calender ends in 2012. I don't know about you, but I hope they didn't know squat.
